Title pages in books that are mostly black, rather than white space. Annoys me when processing new books - where am I supposed to stamp and note acquisition date info so that it's legible? Children's books with bib record info at the end of the book, around/among illustrations.?? These are not manga, that read backwards, BTW, but picture books. One mentioned by a favorite patron - deceased authors are more becoming prolific than during their lifetime. I miss the good old days when novels had a plot synopsis on the back rather than a giant vainglorious photo of the author. And the title wasn't miniscule in comparison to the author's name. My beef lately is trying to find copyright/ publication dates on e-books. Authors seem to be retitling older books and re-releasing them. It can be really hard to figure out if a book is "new" or not.
